So John, two Flounders whilst floundering about on the estuary of the river Dee, not bad eh...! Say thank you to Lexie for her suggestion, and for stopping the three blanks going into four. Great stuff...!
Tide's are really strong there John .Water murky because of silt and mud stirred up by the tide. Not often clear on the Dee estuary. Dabs = run finger up from tail to head- feels rough = dab. Clincher - hold fish up with white side towards you. If it's translucent then it's a dab. Flounders skin = smooth both directions and underside usually much whiter than on the dabs. Plaice has bright reddish orange spots but flounder can have these too but not as bright. You mentioned using stinky bait . Dabs are the ones that like stale lugworm. Hope that's a little help .
This was last Friday. I arrived there at high to fish the tide down ( just before you left). Tide goes out slower than it comes in on the Dee. Can also fish this mark over low. I caught one flounder.
You do get a bore running up the river on big tides and a few you can actually surf , fishing on big tides is not for the faint hearted the flounders run as far a bangor on dee and they are bin lids
I know this sounds stupid but why live stream ....it ain't live still edited ....sorry to be a buzz kill but thought you were live live if ya get me GKJ still love the content ...just puzzled and asking lol 😆

Have you got the bottoms to go with that Jacket John?
I have the thermo suit by Penn and it's a game changer for winter.
On some tides hour either side of high max there!
Try deeside bait just up the road fish there all the time on way to north Wales
You should have got Lexi to show you how to do it 😂
Try pulling the old skin back and try an jettison while you cast mate
Good halibut!❤
I go off beach or pier I,ve never used anything heavier then 5onzz ??❤
I agree but sometimes Ive had to use 6oz when punching into a strong wind, when uptiding on the Mersey ive used 8oz with uptiding grips
I'm in the market for a rod suitable for Connah's Quay dock (just down the road from my place!)....what rods are you using? Great vid, thanks!
Have a good one fella
A-up John, what size is your Penn jacket please?
Nice Halibut 😂😂❤
